[PATCH 4.14 014/118] cgroup: fix css_task_iter crash on CSS_TASK_ITER_PROC

[Greg Kroah-Hartman]

4.14-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Tejun Heo <tj@xxxxxxxxxx>

commit 74d0833c659a8a54735e5efdd44f4b225af68586 upstream.

While teaching css_task_iter to handle skipping over tasks which
aren't group leaders, bc2fb7ed089f ("cgroup: add @flags to
css_task_iter_start() and implement CSS_TASK_ITER_PROCS") introduced a
silly bug.

CSS_TASK_ITER_PROCS is implemented by repeating
css_task_iter_advance() while the advanced cursor is pointing to a
non-leader thread.  However, the cursor variable, @l, wasn't updated
when the iteration has to advance to the next css_set and the
following repetition would operate on the terminal @l from the
previous iteration which isn't pointing to a valid task leading to
oopses like the following or infinite looping.

Fix it by moving the initialization of the cursor below the repeat
label.  While at it, rename it to @next for readability.
